FAQs About Laser Hair Removal

Get answers about cost & effectiveness of laser hair removal.

Does laser hair removal really work?

Yes! There are so many ways to temporarily remove hair, but for permanent results, laser hair removal (not IPL!) is the safest way to make unwanted body hair a thing of the past!

How permanent is laser hair removal?

Hair is gone forever! Most of our clients are 95-100% hair-free in treated areas in 7-10 sessions. Hormones, pregnancy and the odd stubborn hair that just won’t quit, is why we provide our Unlimited Package — so you never pay touch-up fees or need to buy additional sessions.

How effective are at-home laser hair removal devices?

At-home devices use mostly IPL technology which is not as effective as our lasers. These devices are much smaller than our lasers & don’t offer the cooling mist to ease your discomfort. Compared to our treatments, at-home devices are more time consuming, more painful and produce inferior results. Don’t be fooled by cheap products that take up your time without producing real effects.

A recent study of an FDA-approved Silk’n laser hair removal home device was published by Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, a leading scientific laser journal. The people in the study had 4 to 6 treatments each. 4 weeks after the last treatment they showed an average of 36% hair reduction. However, 12 weeks later the hair had mostly returned.

Does laser hair removal work for blonde or red hairs?

Our lasers usually do, but the best way to determine if it will work for you is to come in for a free consultation. If your hair is too light to work, we will let you know. Our #1 priority is customer satisfaction, so we absolutely will not sell you laser hair removal if it won’t produce absolutely stellar results!

Blondes: Laser hair removal will work on most people with blonde hair as long as the hair isn’t “bleach blonde” or “platinum” in color.

Reds: It will frequently work on red hair as long as there is some pigment for the laser to capture.

Gray: Gray hair is, well, a gray area! We would have to see your hair to determine exactly how much pigment is left for the laser to target. This can be determined during your consultation!

Is laser hair removal safe & effective on dark skin?

At Milan — Yes! Our laser hair removal works on all skin tones. Some hair removal methods are limited to light skin tones. But our laser is precise enough to target the hair follicle, and eliminate hair at the root without damaging your skin. Even the darkest of skin tones can be treated.

What body hair can I have removed with a laser?

We can help you permanently get rid of unwanted hair just about anywhere on your body. Whether it’s your underarms, lip/chin, back, chest, bikini area — basically anywhere except right around your eyes — we can help you get the smooth skin you’ve always wanted!

Why laser hair removal over waxing?

Laser hair removal treatments yield permanent results while waxing, shaving, or depilatories will only give you temporary results. Waxing is significantly more painful than laser hair removal, and while laser feels like a rubber-band snap we’ve never had a client leave because of how a treatment feels.

Once you’ve completed your laser hair removal treatments, you’re done forever. Unlike other hair removal solutions, you won’t have to come back monthly, for years on end. You’ll save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in time.

How long does a treatment take?

Treatments are so quick you could do them during lunch! A lip or underarm treatment can be done in less than 10 minutes!

How many treatments will I need?

With our Unlimited Package (included with every area), most people need between 7-10 treatments to get 95%+ hair removal. The best part of this package – besides never shaving again – is that no matter how many treatments you need, it’s the same price!

At Milan, you’ll never worry about buying additional treatments or paying touch-up fees. Unlike other places, once you’ve purchased an area with us it’s covered for the rest of your life.

Each treatment is completed 5 weeks apart.

Is this safe?

Milan only employs highly-trained medical professionals to make sure that you’re in good hands. Our laser is the safest in the industry, and we take special care to prepare you for laser hair removal with our Pre and Post care guide.

What are the risks of removing hair by laser?

Our lasers are incredibly safe, and you’re treated by highly trained medical professionals. We provide eye protection and take all necessary precautions so your treatments are effective, yet safe. Laser hair removal is a simple procedure and there’s almost no recovery time so you can return to work, apply makeup or be active immediately after your treatment. We only ask that you wear sunscreen to protect the treated area.

How should I prepare for laser hair removal?

You can shave! In fact, we want you to shave the day before or day-of your treatment.

What does laser body hair removal feel like?

We’ve never had anyone leave because of how a laser pulse feels on the body. Most clients describe the sensation similar to the feeling of being snapped with a rubber band. Compared to waxing the treatment has very little discomfort. Our state of the art laser uses a cooling spray to safely cool the skin in the milliseconds prior to, as well as after, each laser pulse, which decreases discomfort as well.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

Payments can be as low as $49 a month with our 24-month 0% interest payment plans. Instead of spending $60-$70 a month to get your legs waxed for years on end, you’ll finish your payment plan and be hair-free for life.
